BMW 3 Series review

Things We Like in 3 Series

Torquey diesel engine loves to be pushed hard. Can be quite fun to drive!

Ride quality. Surprisingly forgiving for daily commutes, just about there for spirited driving.

Shifts from the 8-speed ZF gearbox are lightning quick.

Things We Don't Like in 3 Series

Rear seat has average legroom and headroom. Best to be in the driver’s seat.

Petrol variants priced on par with the diesel. Does not justify the price tag.

Stand Out Features

The M Sport variant adds a sporty character to the already fun diesel 3 Series.

CarDekho Verdict

Among the barrage of options in the entry-level luxury car space, the BMW 3 Series is the one to pick if you enjoy driving more than anything else. It has the right blend of features, quality and space - but the driving dynamics outshine its immediate rivals by a considerable margin.
